Seasons in Hell by Mike Shropshire
8.5 out of 10

Shropshire's writing style could be categorized as "sarcastic a-hole" or "sarcastic b-hole".  The vulgarly articulate baseball beat writer shares colorfully off-color stories about the not-so-talented Texas Rangers ballclub in the 1970s.  Akin to most hard liquors, this book is simultaneously abrasive and refreshing.
